Harper introduced the volume with the following statements which summarize John Bartram’s contribution to American science. “John Bartram was one of the nine original mem- bers of the American Philosophical Society, formed in 1743. As the earliest notable figure in a long succession of distinguished Phila- delphia naturalists, as the founder of the first real botanical garden in America, as a corre- spondent of Linnaeus, Gronovius, Dillenius, Catesby, Collinson, Fothergill and other sa- vants abroad, and as botanist to the King of England, he is assured of an enduring place in the annals of American science.” Acknowledgements  I would like to thank Mr. Joel T. Fry, Cu- rator of the John Bartram Association for sharing pictures, PDF compilation files of information on the Bartram family orchard and apples, and other fruits mentioned in the Bartram letters, and some of John Bartram’s correspondence related to fruit.
